Project Spectra! Designing an Open Spectrograph Group 1 Reflection Part 1 Made Open Spectrograph - From a Styrofoam cup, diffraction grating, and flashlight - Measure distance of radiant from white board - Focus beam for spectrum - Measure distances for assigned colors Pythagorean Theorem A2+B2=C2 Student Misconceptions - Math is for math class only - Light has no color Learning Goals - Practical use of theorem - Design simple light experiment - Explain how a spectrograph works Teacher View - Springboard into diffraction grating - Experiment? -Hypothesis -Conclusion - Stand alone?/Starting Activity - Use of math in science - Explain why we are doing this Student View - Middle School-WOW! - What's the point?
